Maharashtra pushes ₹1,000-cr flyover project in Nashik

flyover project
The Maharashtra government has recommended to the Centre to include the 6-km long flyover from Datta Mandir to Dwarka Circle in Nashik under the Bharatmala project. The project, involving an investment of ₹1000 crore, is beyond the financial capability of the local public works department and NHAI is also hesitant to take up its construction as the stretch where the flyover is proposed to be constructed forms a missing length between the Mumbai-Agra Highway (NH 03) and Nashik-Pune Highway (NH 50). The Union transport minister has assured locals to decongest the traffic between the two highways in Nashik city. Commuters on the Pune road, which is the stretch between Nashik Road and Dwarka in the city, would be relieved as vehicular traffic on this road is increasing by the day. Given the chaotic situation on this stretch, the local authorities have set up road signals at Dwarka, Pournima bus stop, Vijay Mamta junction, and Datta Mandir among others. The local PWD has handed over the project to the NHAI due to its higher cost but now the state has recommended to the Centre to include the project in the Bharatmala project, which is funded by the Centre.
